Ambari Views Server is the Standalone Ambari Server used for hosting Views and Ambari Server is the Operational Ambari Server which manages a Hadoop Cluster

Before Ambari 2.4, when Ambari Views Servers are setup, the only way to configure views was to use ‘Custom Configuration’. In this method details had to be manually entered for several fields. For example, to configure Files View, all the entries as described in Ambari Views Documentaion for 2.2 had to be made.

This is made easier in Ambari 2.4 with ‘Remote Cluster Configuration’ . The remote cluster configuration is used to set up an Ambari Views Server to host views for a remote Ambari server, regardless of the cluster configuration.Once a remote cluster configuration is set, all it takes to create a new view is to select the ‘Remote Cluster’ option in ‘Cluster configuration’ and select a cluster name in create view wizard.

How to define a new remote cluster configuration?

Note: If remote Ambari server is either Kerberised or if SSL is enabled, please refer to the end of the article to complete the pre-requisite setup before continuing further.

To create a remote cluster configuration in Views server, go to ‘Manage Ambari’ under admin,

Click on ‘Remote Clusters’. Click on ‘Register Remote Cluster’.

Provide the following values to register a remote Ambari Server:

Cluster Name: This value will be used while creating views using the remote cluster configuration. This need not be same as the cluster name of remote cluster.

Ambari Cluster URL: This is the URL of the remote cluster to be configured.
